The main thing here is, of course, that the “Don’t trust” percentages are clearly larger than the “Trust” percentages, but I still find the relative order remarkable. Amodei, Pichai, and Huang as less trusted than Zuckerberg, Musk, and Altman […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Jos Suomessa esiintyisi enemmän mediakritiikkiä, jutun voisi tehdä vaikkapa siitä, miksi Hesari ja Yle ovat omaksuneet kirjoituksessa politiikasta.fi/aarioikeisto-ja-sen… esitetyn viimeaikaisen meemin, että ”far right” olisi suomeksi […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Google Trendsissä äärioikeisto on ilmennyt hakusanana koko aikana, miltä aineistoa on (2004 alkaen), mutta laitaoikeisto ilmaantuu vasta 2022 ja volyymiltään suhteessa vähäisenä.

How can the storage configuration of iPhone 16 Pro have this large of an impact on kg CO₂e figures? Surely the kg CO₂e contribution of the variable component is tiny in comparison to everything else that goes into a phone? The transport contributes 3% for the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

iPhone 16 Pro 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB have the following kg CO₂e figures: 66, 72, 84, 95.

Very messed up that it likely isn’t incorrect to include Elon Musk on this list. And that being the case, it’s very messed up that non-AfD European politicians keep posting on the platform where Musk gets to decide what to boost and what to suppress from view.

Politico’s list of “key payers” in Germany’s election includes Elon Musk

TIL about Adobe Express, an app for social media content creation. So this is where influencing thought graphics come from. Here’s an actual template with unedited placeholder text.

Squiggles, hand-drawn diamond, and smiley face with the text “How nonprofits are advancing their mission with BRANDNAME” with “mission” underlined in hand-drawn style

TIL: If you set Studio Display brightness to about two thirds with the default preset (the reference modes don’t do this), Lightroom Classic gives you one stop of HDR headroom for rendering. Setting the brightness lower than this won’t add more HDR headroom […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

macOS display preset set to “Apple Display (P3-600 nits)” with brightness set to about two thirds. The histogram view in Lightroom Classic shows SDR and 4 stops of HDR with the SDR range and the first stop of HDR range marked as supported by the current display.

This picture from www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?suba… illustrates well how weird it is that movies are still made at 24 fps. It’s even weirder that connoisseurs say this is good, actually, while also saying that more is […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

It is common i18n advice to say you shouldn’t use flags in the UI, but here’s a failure mode that people giving the advice probably aren’t even thinking about.

Remember the good old days when _the_ “portable” Apple device came with a case?

From the dept of Microsoft laying off QA: Windows 11 Start menu in its default configuration when device pixel ratio is 2.

A grid of app icons (including what looks like paid product placement) where some of the first-party apps have tiny icons, presumably due to displaying the icon meant for device pixel ratio 1.
